The following is a SKYRAIDER UPDATE:....

I broke down an ordered some new wing pylons from Quickboost. After I removed the drop tanks/napalm/whatever-they-are-tanks, I was shocked to see how small the pylons were...
I also got all the antennas from quick boost as well and Master Model gun barrels (not pictured).

Got the prop painted...

Tah-dah...

And the Tail Hook...

...and Clear coated the fuselage

Decals will be next?

Have to paint the belly first and that wavy demarcation line along the bottom of the rear fuselage.
Then maybe decals, sludge wash, flat coat and exhaust stains....

All very nice indeed! Superb masking - where did you get the tape with the grid over it?

Okay…I’m a doofus. What a simple, brilliant idea for painting the prop and tail hooks!

LOL, Thanks Lyle -- only a doofus if you have a cutting machine and don't use it
